Famous quotes containing the word laugh:

Nor heavy knitting of the brow
Bred that fierce tooth and cleanly limb
And threw him up to laugh on the bough;
No government appointed him.”

“When Dad cant get the diaper on straight, we laugh at him as though he were trying to walk around in high-heel shoes.

—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
“I once heard a woman laugh at that most tragic moment in all drama, the off-stage shot in The Wild Duck, and I afterward had her killed, so there will be no more of that out of her.”
